/
Listen To The Episode
Meet Dr. Sheila Kenneally
Sheila Keneally is a naturopath specializing in biliary health and terrain-based medicine. She takes a holistic approach by considering the body’s health history, symptomology, mindset, and present-day data through functional testing to identify dysfunction and facilitate true healing. Sheila’s work is grounded in understanding the bi-directional relationships within the body, restoring coherence across systems, with a particular focus on liver health as a key, but not singular, perspective. Her goal is to support long-term wellness through comprehensive and personalized care.
What We Talk About
• Sheila’s personal health journey with liver dysfunction and how it inspired her path as a naturopath and biochemistry expert.
• Why the liver is one of the most overburdened organs today, and how it influences fatigue, hormone balance, digestion, and detox.
• What fatty liver disease actually is, why it’s increasingly common even in children and lean adults and why many people don’t know they have it.
• The role of mold, heavy metals, pesticides, and other toxins in silent liver damage and systemic dysfunction.
• How liver health is connected to PMS, thyroid issues, cholesterol imbalances, and constipation and why it’s often missed in mainstream care.
• Common symptoms of liver stress even when labs appear normal, including alcohol intolerance, estrogen dominance, and bloating.
• Why women are more affected by liver burden due to iron accumulation, hormonal cycling, and environmental exposure.
• How post-COVID Epstein-Barr virus reactivation affects the liver and drives lingering symptoms.
• The difference between standard liver panels and deeper functional testing that can detect dysfunction earlier.
• How stress, EMFs, and lifestyle factors increase toxic load and reduce detox capacity.
• The progression of fatty liver disease and how to prevent it from advancing to fibrosis or cirrhosis.
• Foundational strategies to begin healing the liver and how Sheila guides clients through this in her Deep Health Reset program.
• How Sheila supports both health seekers and practitioners through education and testing.
